Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Wang Shupei Devastated by Repeated, Forced Drug Injections
2010-11-01
To force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their beliefs, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) uses a variety of means, including the forceful administration of harmful drugs. Their aim is to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, cause them to have mental disorders, achieve the so-called "transformation" [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] and in the meantime, avoid having their deeds be exposed. Ms. Wang Shupei went on hunger strike to protest the persecution in Zhaoyuan Detention Centre. She was sent to the Zhaoyuan City People's Hospital, where the doctors gave her injections. Three minutes after the injections, Wang Shupei started feeling their effects. She was confused and wanted to scream, and felt like she was having a nervous breakdown. -

Abuse at Hexing Brainwashing Centre in Deyang City, Sichuan Province
2010-11-01Practitioners detained at the Hexing Brainwashing Centre are each placed in a cell with two people monitoring each practitioner. They eat, drink, use the toilet, and do everything in the cell. The two monitors follow the practitioner wherever he or she goes. They don't allow practitioners to do the Falun Gong exercises. Falun Gong practitioners must follow their requirement in whatever they do. If they don't follow their orders, they are labelled as not being "transformed" [forcibly renounce Falun Gong]. Those practitioners are given books, newspapers, and video tapes that slander Falun Gong, to facilitate the comprehensive brainwashing. Sometimes, a professional CCP-trained brainwashing expert is utilized, to instill the CCP fallacies as part of brainwashing the practitioners. -
